Joy To The World!

Jump to Comments

I just made my first cafe latte. Double shot of espresso, steamed milk, and topped with foam. *does a jig.

I also burnt the palm of my right hand while trying to clean the milk-steamer-nozzle, so the pace of the cooking has slowed – and this, coupled with the running-out-of-gas incident last night, is causing me to wonder if I’ll get dinner on the table in time for tonight. Oh well! Time to go make my truffle sabayon.

  • go take up a job at spinelli’s – they do the best lattes! and they’ll teach you all the proper ways to do espresso drinks, how to foam milk properly so that you pour out both foam and milk together (rather than milk first, then scoop the foam on top), and oh goodness. good on you getting that lovely darling of an appliance.

  • i’ve become such an expert on lattes ever since i started my stint at pitchblack. haha.

  • nehnehpok: Spinelli’s uses old espresso for their blended drinks! It’s against my principles to drink there. Haha. Oh and they used condensed milk too which I love but isn’t very angmoh-coffee aye. Anyway, pouring milk and foam together isn’t how one makes lattes!!

    shu: Hahahha. I love lattes.
